  1. Yep, codfish is king at Christmas Eve dinner in most regions here in Portugal, were it not the national dish. The octopus tradition is more located in the north. We have 1001 ways of cooking codfish but for Christmas the tradition is boiled, with boiled potatoes, boiled kale and a boiled egg (some people also add boiled chickpeas). Of course, people are free to be creative and make it different but usually the dish doesn't stray away much from the tradition. The funny thing is, codfish doesn't even exist in our waters, it has to come from Norway or Iceland. We're probably the only country in the world where the national dish's main ingredient is not sourced locally. 😄
